the provider you saw and asked about blood testing was greatly misinformed :( if it was at the gum clinic, they only offer the non-type specific testing which isn't of much help at all.
be seen every time you have the genital symptoms to be tested properly for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too.
Thanks for getting back to me. They come and go and are sort of underneath the skin.
So you think it's unlikely that these bumps are herpes? The oen downbelow are irritable sometimes and a bit itchy.
Not to mention the eyes! It just seems like too much of a coincidence that all of these things should happen just as i was informed the person i slept with had herpes.
Thanks again for getting back to me. With regard to blood testing the doctor i went to previously said there was very little point as the results are so unreliable.
Do you have any opinion on this? Thank you
the symptoms you are describing orally don't sound at all like oral herpes. these sound like completely normal bumps on the lips.
the symptoms you describe genitally also don't sound herpes related at all either. sounds like either fordyce spots or just normal skin that perhaps is a little irritated even.
you can seek out type specific herpes igg blood testing to see what your overall status is. It's my understanding that in the UK, you'll need to see a private doctor and pay for your type specific blood testing out of pocket.
